Returns the index of the character at a given location.

Syntax       

		VB.NET	IndexVal = object.CharIndex(ByVal xPos As Single, ByVal yPos As Single)  As Integer
		VB	IndexVal = object.CharIndex(ByVal xPos As Single, ByVal yPos As Single)  As Long
		C#.NET	int IndexVal = object.CharIndex(float xPos, float yPos);
		VC++	long IndexVal = object->CharIndex(float xPos, float yPos);
		C	HRESULT object->raw_CharIndex(float xPos, float yPos, long* IndexVal);
		Delphi	IndexVal := object.CharIndex(xPos : Single; yPos : Single)   : Integer;

object

A SftMask object.

xPos

An expression that evaluates to the x coordinate to be tested. The units used depend on the container used (e.g., Visual Basic uses TWIPS by default, Visual C++ uses pixels).

yPos

An expression that evaluates to the y coordinate to be tested. The units used depend on the container used (e.g., Visual Basic uses TWIPS by default, Visual C++ uses pixels).

IndexVal

Returns the index of the character at the coordinates xPos, yPos.

Comments

The CharIndex method returns the index of the character at a given location.

CharIndexPix can be used if pixel coordinates are desired.

To determine the general area (such as a caption, buttons, etc.), the HitTest method can be used.
